But what if I accidentally opened a conversation with "me and my friend" , how am I supposed to structure my sentence then? It would be too awkward to say

Me and my friend... oops I mean, my friend and I went to the same blah blah....

Thank you all for your answers

MustAskIt would be too awkward
I don't think it would. There's nothing wrong with correcting your own speech in conversation, especially if you're still learning the language.

So "me and my friend" sounds somehow odd and incorrect? How about if I casually said this instead " Me and my friend... we uhmm , we went to the same class..."

MustAskSo "me and my friend" sounds somehow odd and incorrect?
It's not odd; in fact, it's quite common among careless native speakers. Nonetheless, it's ungrammatical, and I don't suggest making a habit of it.

"Me and my friend" is never correct as the subject of a sentence. Correcting yourself is fine. If you casually said
MustAsk " Me and my friend... we uhmm , we went to the same class..."
I would be wincing and saying to myself "My friend and I! My friend and I!"
